Yeah too much for little chassis.
Bolt an rx8 subframe in front and rear.....join the 2 with tube. Ive done some drawings lol.

Nice there US power figures so you gotta half em for the rest of the world !

Grant Monkhouse · March 10, 2016, 05:59:18 PM

I'm probably at half that power now! Lol. Money spent on turbo vs NA upgrades = minimum 100hp for turbo lol

boosted · March 10, 2016, 06:03:30 PM

Yeah NA pants for tuning. More Â£ per BHP. Look at the motor industry now 1.2 with turbos 160bhp.

Grant Monkhouse · March 10, 2016, 06:25:12 PM

Turbos allow you to have huge power and drive ability. Need to look at my options with my motor and rx8. Rx8 is quick, especially these last two nights, the air seems to be perfect and the rx8 feels faster, a lot faster. But it's just missing that plant you in your seat turbo power!

Yeah and couple clicks more power....gotta say back to back scooby wrx to my 231 about the same. But 1k easy 300bhp safe tune cant do that on the renny.
BOOSTED is awesome ha ha ha.

Got a dyno at 320bhp. Dont know if that is wheels or flywheel feels like the latter.
Still lots todo ha ha.

Grant Monkhouse · March 11, 2016, 08:41:58 AM

I'd suspect fwhp, stock twins at best do ~400 hp before they die quickly

Grant Monkhouse · March 11, 2016, 08:42:10 AM

Well that's what the Internet says

boosted · March 11, 2016, 08:48:16 AM
